We’ve heard of Spider Man, but Spider Mazda?

How did the spiders get into the Mazda 6?  It’s a mystery even Peter Parker might not be able to solve.

The manufacturer has recalled 65,000 Mazda 6 models after identifying a spider infestation problem at either an auto parts supplier or the manufacturer’s Flat Rock, MI plant where they assemble Mazda 6 cars.

There are yellow sac spiders which are nesting in tiny rubber hoses linked to the car’s fuel tank system.  This could cause fuel leaks and possibly fires.

While we applaud Mazda for trying to untangle this web, we have heard from several customers that they have been without their cars for weeks due to parts being on back order.

If your Mazda has been at the shop for a considerable amount of time to address this problem, give us a call at 1-800 LEMON LAW or drop us an e-mail and we will be happy to discuss the situation with you.
